Constable: Impressions of land, sea and sky celebrates the art of one of the greatest British landscape painters. It focuses on John Constable as a maker of pictures, and works have been selected to emphasise his art-making processes. We have especially placed emphasis on Constable’s remarkable oil sketches of land, sea and sky, which contributed so much to the freshness of his work.
Curator: Dr. Anna Gray, Assistant Director Australian Art
